HUP and the Double Slit Experiment

Stretched again! Does anyone know why YT does this or how to fix it?

Joe, I think I did that thing you mentioned in one of your recent videos: sometimes when I say "you" I mean YOU, and sometimes I mean everyone else. I hope it's clear which are which. In particular, I don't mean to imply that you-Joe are hearing these things for the first time.

But isn't the act of just watching the photons without using a "device" still observing? Why would it make an interference pattern when we look at it? If the act of observing makes it behave like a particle and not a wave, why does it still give the interference pattern when we watch it? I don't get how observing it with a detector is any different than observing with our eyes. They are both acts of observation on the photon. Maybe the device has some effect on the outcome?

@strategery101 The observation only affects the outcome if the "observer" can tell which slit the particle went through. Looking at it with our eyes is not enough because we can't see the particles directly, so we can't tell which slit each one went through.

If only the scientists had thought of this possibility, it would have saved us all from a fraudulent 200-year-old mystery! You, sir, are a genius. Oh...wait...I remember now. They actually DID think of that. You see, they left the sensors (your flashlight) on BUT did not record what the sensors detected. Amazingly, the interference (wave) pattern resulted. Therefore, they were able to rule out the sensors themselves as any factor. Never mind about that genius comment earlier

@Prepoceros Hi, i know exactly where you are, but i dont know what your doing lol what do you think about this double slit, do you think the static and electromagnetic screen, effect the quanta when its on or off? People have told me they dont agree with this experiment and think they have faked it, i think if one can coat a plate in a single layer or very thin layer of silicon atoms and send atoms or particles the same way, with and without observation, you may work it out ?

[capetorial]

@Prepoceros its like this, imo: if i look at something w/ my eyes, i dont affect it, but if i use a flashlight to see it, im affecting it. in the double-slit experiment, their measuring device (observer) affected the experiment because it had a "flashlight." im dumbing it down a LOT for people that dont understand, i hope those that understand better will not think im a dumbass w/ the way im speaking.

If more people would just post half-assed regurgitations of theories they used to have some understanding of, we'd all benefit a lot. No shame in that game!

@JustusScottJr May I suggest Tom Campbell's explanation of the double slit experiment? @mbtevents

channel NY videos 4 and 5.

@sirtwizt Well said and Thank you for making yourself so well informed. You are doing a great service for your self and humanity by being mentally prepared. You will be able to help many others when the SHTF. Best Wishes

@77GSlinger omg. Finally. Someone with some sense. People's heads are so full of myths like electrons and protons they cannot see what is right in front of them! the universe behaves like a giant fluid. particle physics has been dead a long time ago and is only taught in the lower class civilian sector of society so people won't look into the night sky and figure out what's really going on.
